Their no-hitters and homeruns leave us in awe, but all-stars face the same struggles that we do in keeping fit year round. Some pack on pudge between seasons while others lose strength or speed when months go by with no games on their schedules. To re-ready their bodies for opening day, major leaguers rely on performance specialists and high-tech training facilities.
